Hangin' Loose

I had a 6:45 bball game and thought I was free and clear for the day.  Wasn't going to happen.  Got a text from Jeff to run Fri night.  And thought ok yeah 6:45 is way early.  But with a 5:30 start time and getting warmed up.  I couldn't pass it up.  So got out and ran with the guys for another 4 miles.  Felt better then last time I ran with them a couple weeks earlier and 2 miles or so faster too.  After that went and played hoops and we won that game.  Did'nt feel as gassed as I have been the last few games.  And then at 1 went and ice skated with my wife and girls.  Had a pretty good time.  Also at the same time was a indoor invitational track meet.  So it was kind of cool to watch that as we skated around.

Ran into Eric at church and he has been running all winter long.  And was up for a run this morning.  He has been doing 3 miles or 3.1 and so joined him for it.  It was a great run about 25 degrees and no wind at all.  He has come along well and was sounding and running good.  Kind of pushed it a bit harder on the 2nd mile and slowed down just a bit for his strong sprint for the last .1  Which we did at a 5:59 pace.  Overall it was pretty good and I stretched longer after this run.  Feeling pretty good now.  Lifting again tonight.

Just guessing on the distance here.  But worked out for like 50 mins.  MrsFit and I meet with our Tri trainer for a lesson in swimming.  And learned alot from her and worked on a few things.  But I was really suprised at how well I did for not swimming for over a yr or so.  My shoulder was hurting though trying some new pull.  And made it hard to sleep last night.

Was going to run with my wife.  And her back was a bit sore this morning so ran it solo.  Temp was great 32 degrees and no wind at all.  Ran kind of the same route of the Tues run.  Without the hill at the first mile for half of it.  Felt pretty good and just tried to relax.  Last mile I kept trying to keep it fast but relaxed.

Was a great looking day outside.  So got off work an hour early so I could go for a ride with my wife.  Temps were around 51 or so and only a slight breeze.  My head was the only thing that was getting cold really.  And had a nice and easy ride.  For the first ride of the year.

No bball game today.  Only one more really left.  So got out and ran with Jeff, Richard and got Aaron to join us too.  Sounds like Aaron is getting his act together now.  And signed up for SLC marathon in April.  Good for him:)  And the other 2 guys are only doing 14 this week.  Next week for them though will be a 31 miler.  That I will try to run one of the loops with them.

This was kind of a big running week for me.  And might of over did it some.  Since last week I only ran 4 miles and played hoops.  The week before was just a skiing and hoops.  So doing 1 day of swimming, 1 day of biking and 3 days of running.  Going from 4 miles to 13 was a big jump.  Felt pretty good and got talked into doing more then 6 miles and ended with 7.2.  And felt really sick after it.  Stomach was feeling bad and my head was not happy either.  My wife was feeling the same way but alot worse.  Rested the rest of the day and all of Sunday.:(

Got a nasty blister again with these shoes.

Ran with Eric again.  Feeling a bit better from the weekend.  Did alot of resting and skipped yesterdays workout.  Yesterday called for speed workout and today was a swim.  But opted to run with Eric and kick it up some on our 2nd mile and then last .1.  He did well on the 2nd mile and need a bit of a recovery on the last one.:)

Went to the gym and spun on the bike with MrsFit.  Looks like the next race/ride I have next is going to be a 100 mile ride in April.  So I need to get some good time in the saddle for sure.  Just kind of threw together a workout to pass the time.  Felt pretty good throughout the workout and even better after.

TT 1 hr

Went for a swim this morning.  Worked on some catch-up drills and staying relaxed. Had 6 x 50 that went well in the middle.  Still need to work on not swallowing so much water or air though.  Was giving me some GI issues.

TT 38 mins

Ran with the boys today.  Jeff and Richard that is.  And only did the first loop and some of the 2nd one with them.  They went on to do 31 miles in 4:34:40.  What animals.  I had a bball game a bit later which thank goodness is the last.  And only 2 of us showed up for my team so.  No region for us.

Also later ran with my sister and MrsFit for about a mile.  My sister is working on a run walk 5k.  And we did the 3 min walk run 1.5 x 6.  She was suprised how well she did it.  Just slowed her down some so she could make the time.  Hopefully in a month or 2 we will be doing one together.

Went skiing for 2 hrs or so.  Felt better then last time.  But just had a tough time getting into it and with the cold and crowds turned out not being as fun.  So called it short.

Meet with our trainer again.  And hooked up our bikes to a comptrainer.  Which was really cool.  So we did about 10 mins warm up and then a 10 mile time trial.  It was kind of cool how it worked.  It kept track of distance and speed of course.  But then your watts, cadence, calories etc.  And then also it kept track of which foot was working harder and if it was more pushing or pulling. Along with you going uphills and down.  With it being on our own bikes was even that much better.  So for that time trial I did it in 31:42 I believe at around 19.6 MPH pace overall.  And got a good sweat going.

seeing a bad trend starting.  sick still hope I will get better soon.

Ran with MrsFit for the first run in a yr and a half for her.  Went pretty good for the most part.  It was outside and it was a bit windy this morning.  So for the first mile we had a headwind.  We just took it nice and easy and tried to keep it relaxing.

Run mile run on the TM.  Started out at a 6 pace for half a mile then kicked it up to 6.5 for the next half mile. Then to 7 for the next 2 miles.  Kind of easy workout.  But with the plan it is a good starting point.
